Hello Lions! 
As most of you are now on holiday break (or quite near it), we hope you've had a great semester in your real lives! 

I wanted to post with a reminder to all of our lions that the fall term is quickly coming to an end. It definitely snuck up on us! That means there's about four weeks until the fall term ends at HOL. Which means that's four weeks to get all of your homework turned in and score some last minute points so you can get quills for your classes before this term comes to an end! Remember, the more points you win in a class, the more likely it is for you to get shiny awards for your class too! :) (Disclaimer: Not all classes give out awards though, although many do.)

There's also many things to do on HOL during your break as well, especially if you're bored and want to be productive in all things HOL. Feel free to check out the Library and Arts Department contests that are taking place right now and compete in them!  
As for Gryffindor, our house activity Apples to Apples is winding down in the common room, but feel free to post in the clubs, dens, or areas, etc. you belong to in the common room. We've been a little dead lately, and we miss you all terribly! 

We hope you're having a great holiday season, 
The Gryffindor Staff
